EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to ancient Greece as we witness the intense confrontation between Oedipus and the Sphinx. Painted by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres in 1864, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of mystery and intellectual prowess. The composition is filled with symbolism that adds depth to the narrative. Oedipus, portrayed as a pensive and contemplative figure, stands confidently before the enigmatic Sphinx. His foot rests upon a skull, representing mortality and human vulnerability in the face of life's riddles. Arrows surround Oedipus, signifying his determination to solve the Sphinx's riddle and free Thebes from its torment. The skeletal remains scattered around them serve as a haunting reminder of all those who have failed before him. As our eyes wander across every brushstroke, we can almost feel ourselves being drawn into their mental duel. We ponder alongside Oedipus as he grapples with the Sphinx's perplexing question: "What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?". This iconic scene encapsulates not only an epic myth but also explores profound themes such as fate versus free will and man's eternal quest for knowledge. It serves as a testament to Ingres' mastery of capturing complex emotions through his meticulous attention to detail. Displayed at Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA, this print invites us to delve into Greek mythology while marveling at Ingres' artistic
